A day after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team reached Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia's residence to question him in connection with the ongoing 'Talk to AK' case, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Delhi President Manoj Tiwari said that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was itself responsible for its legal battles.

"The AAP government is itself giving reasons to get terminated. They gave the tender illegally," Tiwari said. The CBI had registered a preliminary inquiry against Sisodia and other AAP members, in the case of alleged irregularities in their government's social media campaign 'Talk to AK', on the complaint of the Delhi Government's Vigilance Department.

It has been alleged that despite the objections by the Delhi Principal Secretary, the government contracted a public relations firm to promote the campaign and spent Rs 1.5 crore to promote Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Meanwhile, the CBI confirmed that "there is no raid or search being conducted at Sisodia's premises. The CBI visit was to seek a clarification on certain issues relating to an ongoing inquiry."
